eBird Checklist - 26 Oct 2021 - Del Obispo Park - 20 species Today at the Sycamore Creek Trail section of Del Obispo Park in Dana Point there was a Brewer's Sparrow feeding with a big Pin-tailed Whydah flock (>50 birds) on the grass right along the trail near the outdoor exercise stations. For some reason, this park attracts large flocks of PTWHs every winter. Also, both along this trail and further north at Creekside Park many adult termites were emerging after the first big rain of the season. Birds (and lizards) were taking advantage of this bounty and activity of warblers, kinglets, sparrows, bluebirds, bushtits, whydahs, and even house finches was high. Robert McNab Laguna Niguel, CA |
